A former Florida police officer diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after his response to the Pulse nightclub massacre is suing the Orlando Police Department for $1 million.

In a lawsuit filed Friday, 37-year-old Gerry Realin alleged that he was harassed by his superiors over his diagnosis and subjected to unsafe work conditions.

Realin, who was a member of the team tasked with removing bodies from the club after the June 2016 attack, claims in the suit that he was at Pulse for 16 hours and inside the building for 5 hours with no relief.

He additionally accused the department of violating Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards by neglecting to provide the Hazmat team with the proper safety equipment — including eye protection.

"OSHA standard precautions concerning blood borne pathogens were disregarded, ignored, violated and overlooked during the cleanup operation of the Pulse massacre by OPD," according to the suit.

The lawsuit also takes aim at Realin's superiors, claiming they "engaged in retaliatory and discriminatory tactics" through constant emails, phone calls and texts — despite a doctor requesting they contact his wife or lawyers instead.

The department's actions resulted in emotional distress for Realin, who stopped working a month after the shooting upon being diagnosed with PTSD, according to the suit.

Realin's attorney, Geoff Bichler, recalled a particular incident of alleged harassment in an interview with News 6, which he dubbed "one of the most egregious things he's seen in 30 years of practicing law."

He's referring to allegations suggesting Deputy Chief Orlando Rolon followed Realin to a gas station after one of his psychiatric appointments and told him he needed to "get over it and move on" in front of his family.

The confrontation upset Realin to the point where he broke down in tears and cried in front of his children, according to the suit.

The Orlando Police Department told the Orlando Sentinel it has yet to see Realin's suit, and the city emphasized the former officer is receiving all of his entitled benefits.

"Following the Pulse tragedy, when Mr. Realin was unable to come to work, he was offered counseling and was paid his salary for over a year," officials said in a statement. "At that point, Mr. Realin requested a full disability pension, which the city granted."

Realin was granted his full retirement pension — or 80% of his $70,000 salary.

Realin isn't the only Pulse responder at odds with his police department. Officer Omar Delgado, who was hailed as a hero for his daring response to the massacre, revealed Thursday he was being let go from the Eatonville Police Department just six months before becoming vested in his pension.
